  • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: For dry season, you may want to carry light color cotton shirts, shorts, and comfortable sneakers. However if you plan to have a formal soiree, apparently, you may need to carry something for the evening but make sure 100% cotton. Even sometimes if you are in an air-conditioned room, it feels warm. For rainy season, the same outfit but you may want to include umbrella, a raincoat or rain poncho.




    Miscellaneous: Tropical climate tempered by constant sea breezes. There are three distinct seasons: Rainy season is from June to September, cool and dry is from October to February, and hot and mainly dry is from March to May. Typhoons occosionally occur from June to September. The best time to visit the Philippines is during the months of December to February. It is hot and dry. It is less humid. Other places have cool temperature, especially on high-elevated areas such as on Mountain Provinces.
